The microblading steps and the healing process
The entire healing process takes 4-6 weeks, depending on the body’s regeneration and age. Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. The pigment will look very natural, looking immediately after the procedure. The pigment color will look much darker the next day.
Note that due to the natural regeneration of the skin after the recovery period (peeling), brows may appear lighter than the original. This may give the impression that the color is fading very quickly. Often, even with proper care, clients can lose original hair strokes, which makes eyebrows look uneven. This is absolutely normal. This is why most customers need a touch up after four or five weeks. Once skin healing begins to occur, it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. However, this is only the superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from the eyebrows. The final appearance of the eyebrows will be apparent approximately 30 days after the procedure.
NEVER scrub the treated area, as this will disturb the skin’s natural healing.
Once completely cured, always apply a layer of SPF 30 to SPF 50 sunscreen on the eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Exposure to sunlight can cause color pigment to disappear faster. When using foundation, be careful when applying it - avoid healed eyebrows. If the base covers healed eyebrows, your eyebrows will appear lighter
How to care for your brows after your appointment
Microblading post-care is very important to the appearance and longevity of your new eyebrows.
- DO NOT let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch your eyebrow area during the first 5 days after your procedure.
- For the next 24 hours after your procedure is done: clean the excess of lymph with a damp gauze (use sterile water) and then apply ointment every 2 hours to make your skin hydrated

- DO NOT touch the procedure area unless applying ointment
- Dryness, flaking and itching in the area may occur, DO NOT PICK
